김수영 시 <전화이야기>의 기법과 그 수용 양상

Abstract

‘Telephone Story’ by Kim Sooyoung has brought changes in modes of lyric poems by introducing features of a communication medium, “telephone” into poetic utterance. In the first two stanzas of ‘Telephone Story’, superficial statements consist of a monologue of the caller, the speaker of this poem. Readers, however, can guess the voice of the answerer, the hearer of the poem. It’s because the utterances of the caller themselves started off by being influenced by the answerer. In the third stanza, which is the utterances of the speaker after finishing the talk on the phone, there exists another hearer. This hearer comes to be in the situation where he or she overhears the telephone conversation between the caller and the answerer in the stanza one and two. The new technique shown in Kim’s ‘Telephone Story’ has been succeeded and improved by other later poets. ‘Telephone’ by Lee Seunghoon, ‘Public Telephone’ by Oh kyuwon, ‘Buan-gun, Byunsan-myon Mapo-ri Ha-som’ by Kim Hyesoon, ‘Floating Metonymy Two’ by Kim Seunghee, etc. utilize a technique able to conjecture not only utterances of the speaker but those of the hearer by using “telephone.” The poems of Lee Seunghoon and Oh Kyoonwon especially give an impression that they are intentionally revealing their acceptance of Kim Sooyoung’s poem. ‘Ah! What do I Mean by This?’ by Hwang Jiwoo, ‘Going out with Mr. Miller’ by Lee Seungha, ‘Poetry that We Write Together’ by Kim Hyesoon or so are not using “telephone” as a medium. But these poems are thought to accept Kim Sooyoung’s ‘Telephone Strory’ in that the speaker and the hearer are taking reciprocal action and only utterances of speaker come into view on the surfaces of each poem.
